The vagus nerve is arguably the most important nerve in our entire body. And the nerve that holds the most power over our digestive system, our heart, our breath and our thoughts.

In this episode, I explain some of the functions of the vagus nerve, why it's important we support vagal tone and what you can do at home to help your nervous system function.

This episode is a brief rundown of the vagus nerve - there is so much more information that I could have provided in this episode, which will likely mean I'll be doing a follow up episode one day soon!

I've  put out a bonus episode on the three major viruses (RSV, covid, flu)  circulating this season.

I briefly describe what to look for in your child, should they be showing symptoms of an illness, and when to seek medical attention.

This episode does not take the place of medical advice. Use your strong intuition if you feel something is off, and get your babe in front of a medical professional.

Symptoms of whiplash after a motor vehicle accident can be complicated. There are a few things you may want to know about your symptoms, or lack of symptoms, directly after an accident.

Don't hesitate to receive care after an injury or accident. Healthcare providers can help make a world of difference in your recovery.

Don't forget! Just because there was no damage to your car, doesn’t mean there is no damage to you. How your car absorbs shock and force is not an indication of how you do. Make sure you head right to the hospital after getting into an accident. Or see your family doctor.

Have you ever had a shoulder that just wouldn’t move? There could be a number of reasons why! But today I’m talking about ‘Frozen Shoulder.’

Adhesive capsulitis is very often described as frozen shoulder. It shows up clinically when someone has pain in their shoulder that gets worse over time. The reason frozen shoulder is term you may have heard before is because it takes a long time for someone to recover from this and normally they are unable to move their arm. Adhesive capsulitis is where the shoulder capsule adheres to the head of the humerous. Often it’s considered idiopathic in the medical world, meaning it just arises spontaneously, or it is due to a secondary condition like autoimmune or endocrine disorders.

Very often misdiagnosed, and misguided, this condition is specifically due to an overuse and repetitive strain style injury in the wrist, and specifically affecting the median nerve through the carpal tunnel. The main cause of carpal tunnel syndrome or median nerve compression, is repetitive motions over a long period of time. People who work at a desk, on a computer, people who work with electronics, in a factory doing repetitive movements even massage therapists. As well, when stress is associated with these movements, so if you’re working and highly stressed, or consistently stressed, your chances of developing a receptive strain injury increase.

If you listen to this episode and think you might be suffering from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, don’t hesitate to email me.

The Chinese Body Clock is used by practitioners as an assessment tool to see where disease or dysfunction might be present. The basis of this clock is that it reflects the times at which each of our organs is functioning at its peak, so that we might be able to understand more about how to support our bodies, but also how to recognize patterns of dysfunction. It helps us understand how we can optimize our day to support our organs, rest when we need to and recover well.

Listen to understand what times of day are associated with each organ and how to support yourself!

Nicole gives a quick dose of  anatomy, technique and treatment when it comes to craniosacral therapy and how everything is once again, completely interconnected.

Health Topic: Cranial Osteopathy

Tips from an Osteopathic Perspective: From an osteopathic perspective, every cranium is very unique. Trauma, lifestyle, physiology, pathology and genetics all play important roles in the asymmetries that impact the cranial and cranial rhythm. Any dysfunction or variation in our sacral region will cause a mirroring affect in our cranium as well. Another example of how our body is all connected and how one aspect or structure of our body is connected to the other.

Today I am using this space to talk about the relationship between our jaw and our hips. How could these structures possibly be connected and why is that even important?

Health Topic: The Link Between the TMJ and our hip bones

Tips from an Osteopathic Perspective: Be conscious of clenching your jaw, choose to do self massage techniques in your temporal regions, deep hip stretches and cat/cow postures can help. Be conscious of posture while seated, and use a pillow in between legs at night. 

THE TAKE AWAY:

Think of how you can be the most aligned, most balanced and most gentle in your body right now. There are many reasons why we might have jaw or hip pain, but sometimes dealing with chronic pain requires us to go deep, look at patterns and not be stuck in a diagnostic box.
